Walkthrough

The first order of business is to visit the Spectre terminal at the Citadel Embassies to enable tracking of batarian access codes. From this point on, the Omni-tool will point you to special consoles that you can check out. There are three of these consoles.

The first is located inside a side room within Huerta Memorial Hospital. The second is on the Normandy dock entrance. The final one resides in the very back of the refugee camp. At this point, you spring a trap and lure the batarian out. Note that if you imported your character from Mass Effect 1 (and completed the Bring Down the Sky DLC) and let him live, the batarian turns out to be Balak. If not, it is a random batarian on the very edge of madness.

Using your special Paragon/Renegade negotiations, you can placate the angry batarian and ask him to join your stand against the Reapers. The previous option is made available only if your Paragon or Renegade leanings are high enough; otherwise, you'll be forced to kill him and gain nothing.
